Using an External Video Light
You can use the optional VL-5 Video Light or VFL-2 Video Flash Light
when you need to record movies in dark locations.
Attach the optional video light to the mini advanced shoe.
• Refer to Using the Mini Advanced Shoe (A 118).
• º will appear on the screen when you turn on the optional video light
(ON or AUTO). For details about using the optional video light, refer to
the instruction manual of the accessory used.
• Using a video light drains the power of the battery pack faster than
usual. Make sure you are using fully charged battery packs. While the
video light is on, the remaining battery time on the screen will decrease,
which reflects the video light's usage of the battery pack's power.
When the remaining battery charge is less than approximately 50%, the
video light will turn off.
• The video light cannot be used when the camcorder is being powered
by the compact power adapter.
• The optional VFL-2 Video Flash Light cannot be used as a flash with this
camcorder.
